This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 205 China's Best Tongue

Liu Tao, who was filming the TV series "Bright Sword" at the Wangzuo Film and Television Base in the FT District of Beijing, woke up to find out that she was in the newspaper.

I was also given the title of "China's Best Tongue," which left me a little confused. It was only after a while that I realized that "The Voice of China" had premiered last night.

There was a night scene yesterday that went on until late into the night, and she completely forgot about it.

Moreover, Liu Tao felt that although "The Voice of China" had a high production standard, she was just a filler host, the program flow was very fixed, and there was not much room for her to perform.

Originally, the program was designed so that family members could stay in a separate room to watch the contestants compete. As the host, she could have comforted the family members and eased the atmosphere.

However, this segment was completely cut by the princess. Liu Tao's job there was just like a robot reading advertisements, and he was also responsible for announcing the program.

Liu Tao felt that Chen Yuan's arrangement for him to be the host was just some kind of perverse pleasure of his, and the real gift he received was the anti-Japanese war drama that was currently being filmed.

She plays the female lead, Tian Yu, Li Yunlong's second wife, an intellectual nurse.

Although "Bright Sword" is a typical male-dominated drama, the female characters are not just decorative figures; Liu Tao quite likes the character Tian Yu.

This is a TV series produced by Hairun, but the project budget is not high. Yuan Universe has always cooperated with Hairun and invested 500 million yuan in the production team. Chen Yuan directly sent himself to the production team.

While filming here, she also has to take one day a week back to the studio to continue hosting "The Voice of China." She has to run between the two places, which she feels bad about, but she has no other choice.

Fortunately, she didn't have many scenes, and she had the support of the Yuan Universe, so everyone in the crew understood.

She didn't take it seriously, treating the job of a host as just a hobby. She even felt that the more active Harlem was more like a real host than her. Little did she expect that it would actually make her a little famous!
Liu Tao is just a tiny part of the show; every aspect of "The Voice of China" is being hotly discussed!
I was really looking forward to the second season of "Super Girl" this summer, but now I'm even more excited to watch the second episode of "The Voice of China" next week!

[There are so many talented singers in China! These grassroots singers finally have a great stage to showcase their talents. What's most commendable is that the four mentors are witty, humorous, and full of human warmth.]

I'm not really interested in the contestants' performances; I just enjoy watching the four big stars banter and joke around with each other. I've never watched a show like this before.

It's much better than those shows where so-called judges are high and mighty and constantly criticize and belittle the contestants.

[Yesterday's Me: Ni Runfeng, you shameless old man, you idiot who licks Chen Yuangou's boots, you're a disgrace to Changhong!]
Me today: I apologize, I spoke a bit too loudly earlier. You, as a seasoned entrepreneur, have such profound insight.

You can always trust Chen Yuan's advertising skills!

[Haha, Sichuan TV is finally going to rise to prominence! Yesterday, my mom and sister didn't watch "Happy Camp" at all; they just kept watching Sichuan TV without changing the channel!]

However, in reality, it's the Metaverse that's supporting Sichuan TV; this program was produced by the Metaverse itself and has nothing to do with Sichuan TV.

The top executives of Sichuan TV were all overjoyed. They had just made a casual bet and never expected to bring home a golden goose!
The advertising prices before and after the next episode of "The Voice of China" will increase more than tenfold!
If the influence of "The Voice of China" reaches or even surpasses that of "Super Girl", then the advertising prices across the entire station can rise to a new level.

With such high popularity, "The Voice of China" can also invite other contestants, such as local singers from Sichuan, to participate in other programs on the station, thereby increasing the overall viewership share.

The only thing that's worrying is that "The Voice of China" is a golden rooster that already has an owner. It's just that it has a good relationship with Sichuan TV, so it's temporarily placed in Sichuan TV's nest to lay its eggs.

Now that other TV stations have realized the enormous potential of "The Voice of China," they will definitely compete with them for this golden rooster in the future.

Metaverse is not a small company, and Shuchuantai can only try its best to show its sincerity and hope to continue this good relationship.

After a week of public debate, the second episode of "The Voice of China" aired during the winter break.
As a result, the viewership rating exceeded 4%, reaching 4.33%, and the viewership share plummeted by a terrifying 25%!

Without a doubt, The Voice of China is a huge hit. After only two episodes, it has already achieved half the ratings of the Super Girl finale!
Another phenomenal variety show with an influence comparable to, or even surpassing, "Super Girl" has been born!
The Voice of China's rapid expansion into a wider audience is not only due to the show's novelty and high quality, but also undoubtedly owes much to the extensive marketing efforts of Metaverse behind the scenes.

Chen Yuan then flooded various related news outlets with the exposure he had accumulated over the past three or four months.
Otherwise, how could Liu Tao have suddenly earned the title of "China's Best Tongue"? After all, he doesn't even have Weibo yet.

Speaking of Weibo, Chen Yuan has also begun to lay the groundwork in this field, having already registered Weibo-related domain names.

They also acquired a small company in the capital that was developing a blog-like product but lacked a way to monetize its traffic and was struggling to survive.

He also poached a complete team that worked on video websites, integrated the two, and established a new company now known as Metaverse Weibo Co., Ltd.

Chen Yuan had a serious discussion with the team leader about some of the features and interaction logic of Sina Weibo and Bilibili, asking them to use them as a reference to create similar products.

Chen Yuan inquired briefly about Sina's blog product and learned that it should be launched in the middle of this year.

Because his Weibo account still needs to integrate video functionality, the earliest reliable public beta version will be released is the end of 05.
Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry; it was around the time that "The Edge Walker 2" was released.

We can take advantage of the movie's release to promote our website.

Chen Yuan had already figured out his strategy for operating Weibo; he would replicate the success of Sina Weibo in his previous life.
By leveraging the high profile of celebrities and social figures in the arts and entertainment industry, the platform attracts user registrations and increases user activity. Given Metaverse's standing within the industry, operating in this way is several times simpler than internet companies trying to recruit users.

Regarding videos, Chen Yuan does not plan to allow ordinary users to upload videos. He simply wants to create a viewing platform where only verified celebrities, official accounts, and news media can post videos.

The reason is simple: current broadband costs are extremely high, making it impossible to support a vibrant video creation platform like Bilibili in later generations.

Moreover, text review alone is expected to be a major headache in the future, and video review will be even more difficult. It's better to keep things simple from the beginning.

The Voice of China has become a huge hit, and the four mentors, the contestants, and the show's producers have all gained immense popularity.

NetEase specifically contacted him, wanting to send a reporter to interview him, the core creative provider of the program.

Having learned from his previous experience of being cyberbullied, Chen Yuan agreed to this interview.

This interview was arranged in Chen Yuan's long-term hotel room at the Hilton Hotel, which is not far from his studio.

Sun Xiaojing and the photographer stepped out of the elevator and searched for Chen Yuan's room number. Even though she had just tidied herself up in front of the mirror in the elevator, she still felt very nervous.

It's not that I haven't interviewed celebrities before, it's just that Chen Yuan is such a special celebrity, and he always manages to do things that shock the world.
Chen Yuan has a large number of fans, and many ordinary people are particularly interested in his life outside of work.

He rarely gives interviews, and his privacy is extremely tight, earning him the nickname "the most feared person in the capital," and even paparazzi shake their heads when they see him.

Otherwise, a mere clip from hospital surveillance footage wouldn't have caused such a huge uproar just over a month ago.

No one expected that the news department's most ordinary test would actually secure them an exclusive interview with Chen Yuan!

However, precisely because it was all so sudden, and the window of opportunity Chen Yuan gave was very short, other more experienced and capable reporters in the company were unable to obtain visas in such a short time.

She was just planning to travel to the United States for the Chinese New Year and had managed to get a tourist visa. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interview Chen Yuan fell right into her lap!
"Hello Director Chen, I am Sun Xiaojing, a reporter from NetEase."

"Hello, hello, let's go inside and talk. Hmm, could you wait a moment while I think about it?"

Chen Yuan felt he vaguely recognized the reporter in front of him. He scratched his messy hair and thought for a moment.

Thanks to the system's modifications and enhancements, he not only has excellent physical fitness, but his memory and thinking speed have also improved significantly.

"You attended the press conference I held at the Four Seasons Hotel before?"

Sun Xiaojing was stunned, her eyes widening instantly. "Ah, yes, yes, wow, I didn't expect your memory to be so amazing!"

She was genuinely flattered. At the reception, she only managed to squeeze into the front row. Chen Yuan did not give any individual interviews to any media outlets at the time.

We hadn't even exchanged a single word, yet he still remembered me!

Chen Yuan is indeed no ordinary person!
"It's alright, I just happen to remember you. Please come in."

Feeling quite excited, Sun Xiaojing couldn't help but take a deep breath as soon as she entered the room.

His room was messy, with various manuscripts scattered everywhere, and many mysterious and impressive science fiction props and decorations.

Compared to his relaxed yet defiant demeanor at the last press conference responding to the hospital surveillance video,

At this moment, Chen Yuan had a stubble beard and messy, even tangled hair. Combined with the atmosphere in the room, he gave the impression of a fanatical mad scientist from a movie.

Of course, even in this unkempt appearance, he is still handsome, only his previous sunny and positive handsomeness has turned into a decadent and lazy handsomeness.

"Sorry, I spent another night working on ideas with the props team yesterday. I was just sleeping and almost forgot about this interview."

Chen Yuan took out two bottles of water and a bunch of snacks from the refrigerator to treat the two journalist friends who had come from afar.

"It's alright, it's alright, we don't have to record it. Besides, these are all props that will be used in the sequel to 'The Edge Walker,' right? It would be terrible if we recorded something that would leak elements of the movie."

Sun Xiaojing offered to defend Chen Yuan, saying that she was genuinely worried that Chen Yuan, who was not in the right state of mind, would refuse the interview.

It's not uncommon for celebrities to be rejected at the last minute when they're asked to interview someone.

Chen Yuan looked around the room, pointed to the balcony and said, "It's not messy over there. Let's chat over there in a bit. I'll go tidy up first."
